"What can philosophy teach us about cinema? Can cinema transform how we understand philosophy? How should we describe the competing approaches to philosophizing on film? New Philosophies of Film answers these questions by offering a lucid introduction to the exciting developments and contentious debates within the philosophy of film. Mapping out the conceptual terrain, it examines both analytic and continental approaches to cinema and puts forward a pluralist film philosophy, grounded in practical examples from film, documentaries and television series. Now thoroughly updated to showcase the most recent developments in the field, this 2nd edition features: New chapters on phenomenology, cinematic ethics, documentary film and television as philosophy, incorporating feminist, socio-political and ecological approaches to cinema; Contemporary case studies including Roma , Melancholia , Blackfish and the Netflix series Black Mirror; Expanded coverage of Gilles Deleuze and Stanley Cavell, two of the most influential philosophers of film; An updated bibliography, filmography and reading lists, with links to online resources to support further study. Demonstrating how the film-philosophy encounter can open up new paths for thinking, New Philosophies of Film is an essential resource for putting interdisciplinary inquiry into practice."-- Provided by publisher.
